Pic will be produced by Bateman and Michael Costigan’s Aggregate Films, with Af’s Amanda Anka also producing. Gordon & Speck will also produce through their Speck Gordon Inc. banner.
Cocaine Bear’s Jimmy Warden will write the screenplay, and they are keeping plot specifics under wraps.

Aggregate’s Drew Brennan and Speck Gordon’s Eric Fineman will shepherd the pic.
Bateman most recently co-starred in the Ben Affleck-directed Air, and Aggregate produced the Richard Linklater-directed Hit Man, which became the big acquisition of the Toronto Film Festival when Netflix acquired it in a $20 million deal.

“American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy and frequent “AHS” star Sarah Paulson reunited back in 2020 for Netflix’s “Ratched,” an 8-episode series telling the origin story of iconic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest villain Nurse Mildred Ratched. The series invited us to “meet the woman before the monster,” and the original plan was for a two season storyline.
Those plans have changed, however. As reported by Deadline, Sarah Paulson has confirmed this week that there will not be a second season of Netflix’s “Ratched” after all.
Two seasons of “Ratched” had originally been ordered up back in 2017.
Here’s the plot synopsis for the first season, which is streaming on Netflix…
“In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image...

After four years, what has long been suspected, has been confirmed. Despite an initial two-season order, Ratched, Ryan Murphy’s asylum drama series starring Sarah Paulson in the title role, has been canceled after one season at Netflix. Paulson confirmed the news in a video posted to a fan account on X (fka Twitter). You can watch it below.
Inspired by the diabolical Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ratched, from Murphy and Ian Brennan and executive produced by the film’s producer Michael Douglas, was set in mid-20th century Northern California. It centered around Mildred Ratched (Paulson), who lands a job at a psychiatric hospital as a nurse. The series followed the nurse’s first days navigating the mental healthcare system and her journey to head nurse in Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel.

“It’s a party in there,” The Holdovers star Da’Vine Joy Randolph said upon making it backstage to the press room after becoming the first Golden Globe winner of the night. She was right, too, as Hollywood’s party of the year went down inside the Beverly Hilton, and a proper bash translates to an overload of action both onscreen and behind the scenes as Golden Globe winners, nominees and guests mingled inside the hotel’s international ballroom by the hundreds. Though the telecast aired for a first time on CBS and Paramount+, cameras could not capture all the noteworthy moments. Below is a wrap-up of some things you didn’t see on television.
Keeping Up With Timothée and Kylie
Timothée Chalamet, nominated for his starring turn in the big-screen musical Wonka, turned up at the big show alongside girlfriend Kylie Jenner in a showing that marked the couple’s first awards show appearance together.

In the first lines of the documentary “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,” the singer-actress-mogul-philanthropist–former Disney star promises the audience, “I’ll only tell you my darkest secrets.” It’s a big promise for what’s to come in this raw, intimate portrait, directed by Alek Keshishian, known for the groundbreaking behind-the-scenes documentary “Madonna: Truth or Dare.”
But at the end of “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,” one can’t help but feel that the dark secrets Gomez has shared, while indeed revealing, have been carefully selected and curated, presented in a manner that is highly stylized and studiously “authentic.” It’s not a warts-and-all confessional, like the YouTube documentaries released by fellow Disney refugee popster Demi Lovato, but something more like a deep conversation with a new friend, one that is open and vulnerable but with some things left unsaid or glossed-over in an effort to steer the conversation toward a specific goal.

Depending on whom you ask, career aptitude tests can be perceived as valuable psychological tools or dressed-up BuzzFeed quizzes. In Richard Feldstein’s case, it doesn’t matter which is true, just that the one he took decades ago at the Uc Berkeley career center happened to be right.
“My father passed away when I was 11. So by the time I was entering college, I was pretty much self-sufficient financially,” Feldstein recalls, adding that he knew he’d have to find a well-paying job after graduation for that to continue. He wasn’t sure exactly what that was, though, so he took the test. “They said, ‘Oh, you’d make a pretty good accountant.’ That kind of popped off the screen to them.”

2021 Golden Globe Final Predictions:
Best TV Series (Drama)
Updated: Feb. 24, 2021
Awards Commentary:
Personally, we wouldn’t be mad to see a surprise victory by “Lovecraft Country” here. That show managed to explore the topics of racial injustice and violence, particularly in the Jim Crow era, through the lens of pulp horror — and to amazing results. But alas, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. didn’t nominate its stars, Jurnee Smollett and Jonathan Majors, leaving us to wonder how committed they are to the HBO series. “The Mandalorian” was an Emmy victor several times over thanks to various craft categories, and “Ratched” comes from the awards bait of Mr. Ryan Murphy. But it likely comes down to two other Netflix dramas: “Ozark” and “The Crown.

“Ratched” is Netflix’s top new series this year, the streaming service claimed on Friday.
The prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Next” from Ryan Muphy, which features Sarah Paulson as a younger Mildred Ratched, was viewed by 48 million households within its first 28 days, the streaming service said on Friday. That would make it its top new series of 2020.
Nielsen seems to agree. In the ratings measurement service’s own weekly Top 10 list of streaming programs, “Ratched” claimed the top spot on this week’s list, which covers Sept. 14 – Sept. 20. Nielsen ranks programs by total minutes viewed. Despite premiering on Sept. 18, “Ratched” had already racked up 972 million viewed.
The biggest launch in Netflix’s history, according to the streaming service’s internal metrics, was “The Witcher,” which barely missed the 2020 cutoff, debuting Dec. 20, 2019. The Henry Cavill-led fantasy series was seen by 76 million households in its first month,...
The prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Next” from Ryan Muphy, which features Sarah Paulson as a younger Mildred Ratched, was viewed by 48 million households within its first 28 days, the streaming service said on Friday. That would make it its top new series of 2020.
Nielsen seems to agree. In the ratings measurement service’s own weekly Top 10 list of streaming programs, “Ratched” claimed the top spot on this week’s list, which covers Sept. 14 – Sept. 20. Nielsen ranks programs by total minutes viewed. Despite premiering on Sept. 18, “Ratched” had already racked up 972 million viewed.
The biggest launch in Netflix’s history, according to the streaming service’s internal metrics, was “The Witcher,” which barely missed the 2020 cutoff, debuting Dec. 20, 2019. The Henry Cavill-led fantasy series was seen by 76 million households in its first month,...

Sarah Paulson’s nurse Mildred Ratched is here to show you some mercy — in her own special way, that is — in a new trailer for “Ratched,” Ryan Murphy’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” prequel series at Netflix.
In the video, which you can view here and in the video above, we’re introduced to a Nurse Ratched we’ve never seen before, a version of the iconic character before she became that iconic character. She is a kind but peculiar nurse who wants to show mercy, but seems to have a hard time sorting out what is right and wrong to do as a medical professional amongst both her colleagues and her patients — though she firmly believes “there are rights and there are wrongs.”
Mildred’s bedside manner leaves something to be desired, but it appears there could be some deep-seated reason for that particular flaw.
